Hopefully Schloss can find a closer next year... Burns looks so uncomfortable this year compared to last. I guess he was the 7th or 8th inning setup guy last year, the pressure may be too much for him to be the main closer this year.

I didn't think he would this weekend, but next Thursday, Friday, Saturday against blow u is possible.

Now, him using Cozart, Crossland, Burns, Leffew, Walker, Grubbs last night and tonight.
Really need Volantis to go 7 strong innings tomorrow afternoon.

Well, if anyone had Duplantier with a 3 run home run on a bingo card congrats . I didn't see him even hitting a home run.

We should've put this game out of reach bases loaded and Tinney up. Becerra with a double. Never want to be an out at 3rd.

Burns needs to just throw heat until they can catch up to it.

Win on Sunday and take the series!! This team has the biggest bullseye on it, and yet the team finds ways to win more than lose.
